EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the delightful town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall during the month of May 1989. The image captures a momentous occasion - the visit by Her Majesty The Queen herself. In anticipation of this grand event, St Winnow Church of England Primary School took it upon themselves to create a vivid impression of their beloved main street. The young students poured their hearts into every detail, meticulously sketching Union flags fluttering proudly in the breeze and capturing iconic landmarks such as Lloyds Bank and charming shop fronts. With great enthusiasm, they also honed their flag-waving skills, preparing for the day when they would have the honor of greeting Her Majesty with patriotic fervor. Photographer Jonathan Barker expertly captured this heartwarming scene that radiates joy and community spirit. The children's excitement is palpable as they proudly don their school uniforms adorned with Cornish symbols, reflecting both local pride and national unity. This photograph serves as a testament to the power that royal visits hold over communities across Britain. It showcases not only an important historical event but also highlights how such occasions can bring people together in celebration. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Lostwithiel's deep connection to its heritage and its unwavering loyalty to crown and country.
